I have high e2 (101 on cd3) and was on clomid unsuccessfully for 3 months. Starting femara on monday (cd5). Will femara help suppress my estrogen like clomid or should I be taking something to help sway pink? Or is it like clomid where all supplements should be avoided, except folic acid?

Also considering adding in baby aspirin.Thoughts?

Avoid all supps. IT works similarly to Clomid but does not seem to suppress estrogen as much, which we originally thought would make it "bluer" than Clomid but then a good study showed it to be "pinker". Yet another bit of evidence showing we have absolutely no idea how any of this works and all the hormone stuff is bogus.

Why do you want to add in aspirin?

I read on baby center about many with low amh using it to help grow the lining and help with implantation.

Unless you've been having unexplained chemicals or know that you have blood clotting problems I'd leave it alone. You don't even know that's your issue and it just has so many side effects I am increasingly wary of it.

What you could do is take one every other day starting after you ovulate and continuing for a week, then gradually space doses for another week and then drop it.

I will just leave things be. I would hate to make anything worse or more complicated. Thanks for the advice!
